Bay Running Shop

Just off the phone to Alex from Altra and AfterShoks, he’s got plenty of gifts to give away for all those that attend 🎁
Why Altra?
Altra the only company to produce a line of fully cushioned foot shaped ( see pic ), Zero Drop and female specific trainer.
... • Foot shaped Altra’s foot shaped toe box allows the toes to spread out naturally and the big toe to remain in a straight position which enhances stability and a powerful toe off to maximise running performance. You can wiggle your toes it’s amazing coupled with a pair of Injinji’s your feet can just spread as they naturally would.
• Zero Drop The term ZERO DROP was coined to describe the level cushioning and perfect weight balance from heel to forefoot. This natural balance aligns the feet, back, and body posture for less impact. It also strengthens the Achilles and lower calf muscles that have been weakened over a lifetime of running on elevated heels.
• Fit4Her Women’s feet are anatomically different than men’s feet. Women have a narrower heel and mid foot, higher instep, longer arch and unique metatarsal spacing. The Fit4Her technology means we customize every women’s shoe to the unique shape of the female foot.
Altra’s help you run more efficiently and naturally with better form reducing the likelihood of injury.

Went to see James and had a gait analysis done. Very informative and no pressure to buy the most expensive trainers whatsoever, was given a selection of three and went for middle pair as overall they felt best, and still very pleased with them after getting a few runs in with them. Can highly recommend the shop and the On Cloudflyer trainers both are top notch, thank you!��

Well done and thank you to Beth for my gait analysis very comprehensive and thorough.

Excellent service ����������

Very friendly and helpful. I am very impressed with my results only after a few weeks. Well recommended!

Relatively new to running, decided to bite the bullet and get my Gait analysis done! As I entered I was greeted with a warm welcome by the staff who gradually took me through the process in a very professional manner! After realising that it was not my running form but possibly my running trainers, they brought out a selection of shoes in which they was more than happy to try out before I made the purchase! Ever since the purchase of my new trainers with the improved cushioning I have had a wonderful time running and am now even more eager to hit my PR's and Targets! Would Highly recommend to everyone to at least go in and say hi! Would recommend to everyone who runs to get their Gait analysis done in the Bay Running Shop! Thank you for the continued support in my running queries!!

Just been to see Beth and James for my first ever gait analysis. A really excellent service with a good selection of trainers to choose from. They took the time to explain each different type of trainer and let me take the time to try them all on and run in them too. A special thank you to Beth for being so patient with me while I took ages to decide! Looking forward to getting out running in them �

James is a top bloke with a lot of knowledge, if you need some running kit and bit of help with what exactly to buy go pay him a visit �

I went into the shop not knowing much about running footwear at all. But with the help of James and India, they did my gait analysis, recommended the type of footwear and helped me pick the perfect pair for my running style. James was also nice enough to offer going out running with me to help me get started with my training. So all in all a very pleasant and professional experience and would definitely recommend to anyone!

I started getting pain in my right calf about 3 weeks ago and a friend noticed that my ankle was rolling inwards whilst I was running. So on Tuesday I went into the shop and Emily was very helpful and carried out my gait analysis for me. Since getting the trainers I have completed 2 runs, had a few niggles on Wednesday whilst I was getting used to the trainers but Saturday's run was the first pain free run I've had in weeks!

Thank you so much for helping me get the right trainers so I can continue running without injury! Thanks a lot guys

I popped in yesterday and did the full gait analysis with James, it was all very relaxed and easy going.

I was well impressed with the service and advice James gave me and he answered other questions I had for him.

After trying several pairs on the running machine I picked the ones for me and today did a nice 15 mile run in them and was well pleased.

Thanks for the great service I'll be back in soon ��

I had my gate analysis done today and wow! Brilliant service and lovely helpful friendly staff. Thanks team! � will be buying my running bits from here. They also have ear phones that I can wear with my hearing aids in and are race proved, for me this is wonderful as since having my hearing aids fitted 6 months ago the one thing I miss is running to music.

Highly recommend Bay running shop for any advice about running and fitness.

I had no idea about the type of running shoes I needed and James was excellent at offering advice, checking my running style etc. Also excellent advice about healthy eating and coaching to achieve my targets.

Thanks for helping make big changes in my lifestyle and improving in my running.

Highly recommend Bay Running Shop - they provide comprehensive gait analysis from the hips down, (not just a quick 5 min 'see how you run with a view of your feet'!) and James and India ensure you leave with with the running shoe that's right for you. Excellent friendly service. Congratulations on your fab opening weekend James and India � Can't wait to go running now � I will definitely be back to get some trail shoes soon!

Hi bay running shop just like to say bought a pair of guide everun running shoes absolutely love them James Maybourn and staff are brilliant I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you again

Had my gait analysis done here today. Have had gait analysis done in the past from a national running shop but never this comprehensive - found out I've been running in the wrong type of shoes! James offered advice on how to improve my running/speed. Can't recommend this shop highly enough. Amazing and knowledgeable service had by James and his team. Will be back next week! �

Had fantastic personalised service in the shop this morning. I’m delighted with my new Altra running shoes and can’t wait to get out there and try them out!

Fabulous experience, very helpful and gait analysis really helped.....thank you for a really comfy pair of trainers and the time you spent....highly recommend x

Brilliant experience for my first ever gait analysis.

Staff made me feel welcomed and relaxed as soon as I entered the shop. The service was friendly and professional with the staff being able to offer helpful advice to all our questions and queries.

We will definitely be recommending to all our friends and visiting again in the future.

As I am about to embark on the final week of C25K and I am very nearly at the point of officially becoming a 'runner', I thought it was time I went for a gait analysis to ensure I keep myself injury free.

So off I went to the Bay Running Shop to find the lovely James I had been told about.

Honestly, through detailed analysis of my running, James was able to select the pair for me, it was just coincidence that they happened to be in the most fabulous colours possible. Wish I could show you a photo, they are purple and pink and look absolutely amazing, as well as correcting my gait.

An amazing shop. Fantastic staff with an incredible amount of knowledge. A service you don’t get online or in a commercial chain.

Looking forward to getting out in my new cloudflyers.

Thank you James and Beth.
